Now this is an interesting response. Why would less people be playing

Because of all the people that joined up because of the story of the disband? I know I probably wouldn't be playing if it weren't for that.

:) the alliance got deleted, not the people in it...

Here is the thing, BoB reformed to become "IT" so there you have it... oh, and IT died too, but I heard something about IT being reborn recently?, but then you also have Raiden. which is basicly old BoB also... it's all very confusing, but part of the bigger picture... do note I am no expert, I am just recalling this from my memory of old news from way back when

What the heck does this even mean, Repose?

I love it when miners talk about nullsec /so/ authoritatively

Goons were doing these things before and after BoB died.

Bring back M0o

From my understanding BoB was basically falling apart by the time Goons performed their legendary act of espionage, so it probably wouldn't have changed anything in the long run. Supposedly there are still mirrors of their official forums from back in the day floating around, if you want to read them.

There was no legendary act of espionage.

There was a little disgruntled director with roles who was fed up with the game and decided to hurt the very alliance he was part of in the most humiliating way.
If any other entity would have been more hurtfull he would have coaxed with them to disband BoB.

The only legendary thing about Goons is the way they twist the reality of things that happened and the fools who actually believe the lies.

When the new IGNE character was informed of this, he made a full and unexpected confession: the pubbie was actually an alt of Band of Brothers director Haargoth Agamar. A full director, with full directorate access in Tin Foil, the executor corporation of Band of Brothers. The director told a person in IGNE who they were, that they had had enough of BoB, and that the brief time in GoonSwarm had reminded them that EVE could be fun again. Tamir and IGNE's CEO Aaron Static proceeded to go to The Mittani with the info, who was sceptical at first, but then began to plan a quick smash-and-grab of any assets the director could get his hands on.

It then struck Mittani, upon looking at the measly grabbings of a dozen dreads and a few billion ISK. "The director has full access in Tin Foil. The director can disband BoB." Upon this realization, he set it in motion. And finally, on February 5th, a full director in the Tin Foil executor corporation of Band of Brothers, disbanded and closed the alliance, resetting all BoB sov claims to 0, destroying constellation sovereignty in all Delve constellations, and putting every capital ship assembly array into a vulnerable position. The call was made to GoonSwarm a few hours later: "We're moving. Get your ass to Delve. All other regions are forefeit."

Point proven. Disgruntled player bought his way into Goonswarm by disbanding his own alliance.

Once again, if he could have pissed people in BoB off more by joining another alliance or corporation and then killing BoB he would have.
There was no infiltration. There was no espionage.
Anyone with half a braincell can see that.

No wonder most Goons and pets can't see that.

Theres still Band of Brothers in game. Its part of Goonswarm Fed. They should get someone to post here lol

Don't worry so much. BoB 4.0 is still around and the war continues!

After BoB had the button pushed on them, they didn't just all ragequit, after all.

Yes, after they had the button pushed, someone immediately reformed BoB. I think Goonfleet is a corp in the BoB alliance. But the person in charge got banned or something, so they're both stuck in time etc.

(Someone has a character in BoB who posts still).

Karttoon, who is banned for RMT.

LOL after all this time, people still think that BOB was disbanded against their will.

BOB just got tired of the endless kicking of your asses and decided to up the game a little by dropping sov. And IT was the same story all over. And when raiden gets tired of kicking your asses this will happen again. Then they will form a new alliance and repeat. PL knew/know this was happening, so they decided to do the same when they dropped sov in fountain , PL never lost to IT, there was made an agreement. Im not sure if goons knew about this or this why they dropped sov themselves, but I suspect it.

Some players just just like a challenge.

You're asking this because It Alliance is re-spawning on Dotlan aren't you?




If BOB never disbanded Goons would have something else to do besides ***** about Empire and CSM shenanigans. This game really needs at least two great empires, not just one. If IT tries to become a major player again, they will have their work cut out for them because this is a different EVE now. That being said, their return coinciding with a new expansion involving titan nerfs is probably not coincidence either. They have always had insider information to play with.


Ultimately, meh...
Most of us are so sick to death of null sec, goon(dot) and BOB(dot) that I think the mystique is gone forever. No one really gives a **** anymore TBFH.
